Answer

x=-2 and y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Solvey=5x+7for y:

Step: Substitute5x+7 for y in 3x+y=−9:

3x+y=−9

3x+5x+7=−9

8x+7=−9(Simplify both sides of the equation)

8x+7+−7=−9+−7(Add -7 to both sides)

8x=−16

8x/8=−16/8

(Divide both sides by 8)

x=−2

Step: Substitute−2 for x in y=5x+7:

y=5x+7

y=(5)(−2)+7

y=−3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

The angle measurement in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

x = 9 and ∠ B = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram given with the question first.

Here we have ∠ A = ∠ B {They are corresponding angles}

Now, it is given that ∠ A = 5x - 5 and ∠ B = 3x + 13

Hence, 5x - 5 = 3x + 13

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 9

Therefore, ∠ B = 3x + 13 = 3(9) + 13 = 40° (Answer)

Consider functions f and g.1 + 12f(1) = 12 + 4. – 12for * # 2 and 7 -64.2 – 16. + 1641 +48for a # -12 Which expression is equal

Given the following functions below,

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}\text{ and} \\ g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48} \end{gathered}$

Factorising the denominators of both functions,

Factorising the denominator of f(x),

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x^2+6x-2x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x(x+6)-2(x+6)}=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \\ f(x)=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \end{gathered}$

Factorising the denominator of g(x),

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48}=\frac{4(x^2-4x+4)}{4(x+12)} \\ \text{Cancel out 4 from both numerator and denominator} \\ g(x)=\frac{x^2-4x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x^2-2x-2x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x(x-2)-2(x-2)}{x+12}=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \\ g(x)=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \end{gathered}$

Multiplying both functions,
